Refarming
Pareto
• No one can be made better off without making at least one individual worse off!
Robin Hood
• Not accounting for externalities and market power
Kaldor-Hicks
• Welfare can be improved and be Pareto efficient if losers are sufficiently compensated by winners.
What is more efficient use?
Winners and losers: the PMSE case
Telecom providers
• More spectrum available
Content aggregators
• Google and co. have more bandwidth available
PMSE equipment providers
• increased demand for new equipment
A/V culture
• Better opportunities to distribute content
Winners
Compensating the losers
PMSE users
PMSE equipment
Telecom operators
Content aggregators
A/V culture ???
Governance
Obtain a working wireless
microphone or camera
Switch it on, and hear/see if it works
if yes, then ok
(probably you're alone :-)
if not, change frequency /
increase output power until it works
(you're not alone :-(
PMSE '(spectrum) governance' in practice:
Governance
• karaoke in the living room / reverend in church
Private users
• SNG/ENG, conferences
Professional users
• Formula 1, EU Song festival, football, Olympic Games, 'Madonna on stage' etc.
Events
Diversity of usage/users
Governance
Frustration of current governance practice
• Due to increasing spectrum demands (of other users)
More (and more) interference
• both 'internal' and 'external' (other users)
PMSE-user vulnerability
• No PMSE ‘user identity’
• Strong lobby from others like ETNO, ECTA, EBU, CRAF, IARU, etc.
Resulting in:
Governance
